Beneath The Mask

"Alright, are you here to talk or to act like an annoying seer?"

"Now now Leor don't be mad I am the only one who can solve your predicament"

And now Leor's mind went into full thinking mode he start to remember a memory which he has forgotten in this memory he saw someone break into his house, He was wearing a top hat and an pretty expensive black suit and a long fur coat over it which was weird because of the hot weather, a mask which was weirdly enough was similar to a play he went with his family a mask which looked like a sack only leaving holes for eyes not even nose or mouth which made him question how was he breathing but now was not the time for these stupid thoughts.

More weird thing was how was he having this memory when he was not even there to begin with, Then he saw that masked madman pull one dark black revolver which looked like was made out of some really special material because he had never seen a color this dark and that revolver had a small golden Nian which was a dragon like creature he read about in Drakenheim mythology on the barrel which made it look really beautiful.

He saw his brother peeking out while holding a lamp from his room's door by opening a small gap. His brother lived on the ground floor while both he and his sister lived in the upper ones. It was a big house for a family of three with four bedrooms, kitchen, living room and a bathroom so both of us on the upper floor had no idea what was going on downstairs and were sleeping soundly.

Then the madman also pulled out a long dagger in his other hand maybe because he sensed the presence of James and wanted to kill him without making too much noise.

Then it seemed like he disappeared instantly like no one was ever there and for a single moment James even thought he was hallucinating from beginning because the madman came without even a slightest change in surroundings no windows opened, no door lock cracked, It was like he was always there in the living room which was completely impossible for a normal person.

Now James was maybe planning to wake me up for help as he was going out of his room slowly he felt a burning sensation on his hand from which he was holding the lamp and the lamp fell making a loud noise, his hopes were high that maybe me or neighbors will definitely wake up from this sound.

"Don't worry no sound can go out from here, not even your screams no matter how loud you scream" an extremely deep voice was heard behind him.

Now he realized something he was completely fucked because the person behind him is not human. He looked at his hand from where he was feeling an abnormal amount of pain and saw that most of the flesh was burned exposing his bones which were also melting in real time. 

"AHHHHHHHH" He was so scared and in pain right now that he would die any moment just from pain alone.

At this moment Leor was so angry and sad but his eyes were wide open like he was trying to memorize and remember every little detail of this event.

"Man, What a disappointment I just poured some boiling oil on you can't you handle some pain, aren't you ashamed of being eldest of Milford, look at you crying like you're giving birth or something your ancestors would be so ashamed of you"

Now I understand, He was probably someone who held a grudge against our family once most powerful in entirety of Thornfield empire, But that was three hundred years ago and both James and Clara don't even know about it, Even I only learned about in an old history book but I didn't think anyone would know about it since I can't find any detailed records about this family. Like it was removed by putting in some effort because you can't remove the whole history of an important family like this. But is this even possible that the whole family only has three descendants left.

As the screaming continued and now the madman could be felt that he was smiling under the mask and now James was swinging that lamp crazily maybe trying to get back at him which the masked man was avoiding really easily and he was disappearing and reappearing so fast that it seemed like he was teleporting which only fueled James frustration.

"How could someone move this fast? This is impossible." Now both brothers have the same thoughts and felt like their world view was crashing down.

"He's an Aetherborn" Said the voice named Cyrus with a somewhat serious tone.

"What is that?" Leor asked with a low voice almost in a whisper.

"In short superhumans but I will explain to you after this." 

"I see" said Leor in a sarcastic voice but inside he was completely shocked, 'So that was what happened there', But a question arose in his mind.

"So what are his abilities, Is it superspeed or something like that"

"Close enough but no his ability is sound, In an unknown distance he can open his domain which lets him control all sounds and in that distance he can move at the speed of sound, hear everything while also removing all sounds ability to be heard like he did before" Cyrus said with a somewhat mysterious tone.

"How can you even defeat someone like that? Is he a God or something" said Leor after giving it some thought and his eyes were filled with astonishment because this was not the first time he was seeing him and he already tried to fight him in that nightmare.

"You won't quite understand it yet just watch for now." Cyrus said in an emotionless voice.

"Alright Riddler"
